9/11 Reflection as Rosh Hashanah Day of Remembrance

On this 17th year since the 9/11 terror attacks, it is the first year that this day of mourning and remembrance shares its time with Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year. It is a fitting holiday to have 9/11 fall on, as this marks the beginning of the days of repentance, at the beginning of the Hebrew calendar, that lead up to Yom Kippur — the day of atonement.
